Luke is very intelligent and is very quick. He also is determined and is very athletic for a big guy. He's been very committed and dedicated in the weight room and has worked very hard.

Cathy is an exceptional young lady. She is an outstanding student and intern, which she had to be to land the internship and receive the award. Our department is proud of her, and the way she managed her priorities, with a family, school and work, is commendable.

With mergers, we may see some difficulties as operations are merged, as employees learn to work together. So, it could still happen, but I think airlines learned a lot last year.

Had he been healthy, he would have never come off the field for us. That's how talented this kid is. He's a Notre Dame kind of player.

Unless we have some unforeseen circumstance -- another terrorist attack, a severe dip in the economy -- I think there is going to be an upswing in the airline business.

It doesn't mean much to our coaches, and I didn't hear the kids mention it once all week. Whether we're 1 or 10, we're going to practice the same way.

If Luke continues to work and grow he'll be able to contribute in his first year.
